Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
8. 1 Some scholars have considered this abrogated by the verse of inheritance, but the more authentic opinion is that this is not abrogated; rather, it is a very important moral instruction. That among the deserving relatives who do not have a share in the inheritance, give them something at the time of distribution as well. Also, speak to them with love and affection. Do not become like Qarun and Pharaoh upon seeing wealth coming to you.
